Wasn't that quote "I don't hate you."?
edit... if I had one of those turrets as a companion anthro-pc and it would speak to me in that voice I wouldn't need anything (or anyone) else in my life. °O

Someone already said but yeah, both were said between the games. I also debated "Are you still there?" I would love a turret Anthro-PC, although it would need to be able to walk which would probably be really creepy looking.
--- Quote from: Somebody on 04 Dec 2012, 11:04 ---Thought which has been bugging me for the past couple of days, and I just realised specifically why - BoyfriendBot was a prototype humanform AnthroPC in the early 1000s, where Marten & Faye were surprised at the idea of humanoid APCs. And yet, despite having an (apparently) metal case, the APC3 "sales lady" seems very advanced in that light.
PS: Whatever happened to Pintsize's friends?

I was wondering the same thing about the sales lady but couldn't think of how to explain my thought and you handily remembered BoyfriendBot. Based on Momo's chasis and the sales-people there, maybe they're just advancing very quickly or at least are still not too common in public.
DSL:
Does seem to be a discontinuity, dunnnit? I choose for the moment to resolve it by assuming Faye and Marten meant fully ... functional ... humaniform AnPCs.
FunkyTuba:
SalesLadyBot is yes, bigger, than Pintsize but it looks like she has a fixed mouth, certainly less fixed than Pintsize's.
Marten's reaction to BoyfriendBot was more muted than Faye's... a careful reading of his lines from that arc doesn't necessarily exclude his having interacted with something like SalesLadyBot. I think BoyfriendBot's innovations over SalesLadyBot's are in the skin and articulability(?) of the mouth (shown when Winslow inhabits him).
Not sure about SpiderInterroBot.
de_la_Nae:
Eh. To me at least, the simpler answer is retroactive change, don't worry it too much. Certainly the role of AI characters in the setting has rather changed (for the better I'd say) from Jeph's initial writing.
Though I do understand that trying to shoehorn things in as gently as possible can be a fun pastime.
